Ben: Perley Poore is authority for the
statement that Abraham Lincoln once
tod . good story about Henry Ward
Beecher, who, dressed In very common
clothes, was studying human nature -
exhibited In the highways and byways OF
New York. In the course Of his philo-
sophie peregrinations, no went into .
mock auction shop. He stood awhile ON
entering, and reflected, doubtless, how
any ono could be 80 lost to all sense OF
truth and honesty - the auctioneer in
question. endeavoring to palm OF his
worthless trash to the inexperienced in
city ways as good and valuable, and
finally the auctioneer called out: "Mr.
Beecher, why don't you bid!" He was
greatly astonished, as can be
imagined, at finding himself known
in this place, and, as he had supposed
In his purposely careless dress. He imme-
diately left, and started Tor the residence
of one Of the members Of the church in the
ueighborhood, and requested him, as an
act of kindness, to 60 down and inquire Of
that person who had sold himself to ga.
tan for the love Of gain how il was that he
knew him in his disguise. The neighbor
kindly consented, and on entering the
"Peter Funk" shop he addressed the
auctioneer:
"How is it that you know Henry Ward
Beecher SO well as to be able to recognize
him in his disguisel"
''How do know him? Why, have been
q prominent member Of his congregation
for the last five years, and lease tho fifth
pew from tho 'front.'"

that innocent lives had been sacrificed.
and the real depredators appeared in
the form Of yellow-jackets. They

Of an unsuspected enemy. and it was
serious question how his ravages

called up an intelligent and observing
negro man and put him on the watch.

bee-hunters use for finding bee-trees.

after the plan pursued with the bees,

Wisdom From Experience.

The more experience have in farm
ing. writes McG.. Of Mississippi. tho
palmer I see the folly of destroying
different things without thinking
whether they would ever be of any
possible use to the farm To be sue
ccssful farmer you should utilize every
thing that can be made into something
Of value. Every old horse or COW that
dies should be hauled out to some bald
spot on a ridge that is not in cultiva-
ton. and as soon as the bones have
lost their offensive odor they should
be hauled in and burned and the
ashes put in your compost heap
Every cow on the plantation should
be penncd regularly every night
except Saturday night and the
manure taken up the next morning.
Every bushel Of ashes should be saved.
Every negro on your place should be
provided with several barrels and be
paid ten or fifteen cents barrel to
save the ashes for you All your cot
ton seed should be put back on your
land. and there are great many other
things to be done in the way of saving
for the compost heap. and stopping
gullies. etc. that would require great
deal too much space to tell you about.
but which you can SEQ for yourself il
you would just stop and consider I
think that indifference and not laz;-
ness is the cause Of so many failures

Bees and Fruit.

Tho editor of the Somshers Planter
relates tho following experience with .
vineyard which he had planted with
great care some years previously:
Our vineyard commenced bearing
well the third year. and was in fine
thrift the fourth year. when It had .
serious setback by the destruction Of
the grapes n they ripened. by bees
As we supposed. There were . few
hives about one hundred yards Cd.
and it appeared that every bee in them
was puncturing and sucking the juice
OF the fruit It was hastily deter
mined that the bees must b sacrificed
for the protection OF the vineyard. and
accordingly loads Of dry wheat straw
were brought and dumped near the
hives After night when the bees
were resting quietly. the hives were
gently taken from the stands. piled to
gethcr. the straw piled over them. and
the torch applied, SO thst in . half
hour all were consumed This seemed

CHARMING ACTRESSES,

There may have been Q time, perhaps

The really great actresses In emotional
parts arc those who utterly abandon their
own personality in the assumption of the
character portrayed. Tho strain they un-

Maudo Granger was obliged to abandon

Many break down under the strain and,
like Sara Jewett, totally give out. Physi-
clans prescribe opiates which, perhaps,
give temporary reliefonly to make tho final
collapse moro certain and complete. Others
arc more fortunate and find in that great
remedy an influence which 'controls life

succeed in their highest ambitions.
